That's a massive help. Thanks very much. What oil do I top it up with?

And there is a seal of mastic between the two faces, it may be leaking from there, or simply from the oil drain hole / plug on the bottom of the axle casing, there does seem to be a lot of oil around it in your photo...
I'd start by tightening the 8 bolts around the back of the diff and the oil drain plug, clean the oil off with some old rags and see after a while if it's still leaking.
You'd better top your diff oil up a bit too?
Oil syringe makes it easier...
Hope that helps...
